  <default-description>100 Jolts actually features one hundred short shots of fiction guaranteed to stun. Arnzen has honed his craft to deliver the highest voltage using the fewest words.  &lt;P&gt;According to the author &quot;Horror is the genre of the jolt, the shock, the spark. The horror story's conflict is always a matter of life and death, but death...almost always comes too soon&amp;#151;that's why we fear it.&quot;  &lt;P&gt;And now readers have a new reason to be afraid. One hundred new reasons!  &lt;P&gt;From the grotesque to the hilarious these bits of micro-fiction will keep you entertained long after you put the book down.</default-description>

Arnzen comes up with one crazy idea after the next from vignettes to complete stories in a couple pages or less.
